"Your customer service was really good, but was told immediately that I need the $500 package on a new car to get it clean. I chose not to and did the $189 package. He called and told me he washed it, but couldn’t polish it because of all the contamination. So, I paid $189 for a car wash. Plus, they charge me $55 to remove two badges. What a waste of money. I could have taken it to a normal car wash and got as good a cleaning for $80. What a rip off!!!"

California's strict car window tinting laws require front side windows to have at least 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission), keeping them relatively clear. Back side and rear windows can have any darkness level. Windshield tint is limited to the top 4 inches. California prohibits red, amber, and blue tinting, and reflectivity cannot exceed standard window levels. Dual side mirrors are required with tinted back windows. Professional window tinting services ensure compliance while providing heat rejection for California's sunny climate.

Please note that window tinting laws may change. Always verify current regulations with your automotive window tinting provider to ensure compliance.

How much does car window tinting cost?

California car window tinting prices range from $200-$500 for full-vehicle service, reflecting the state's strict compliance requirements. Standard window tint cost for cars typically runs $200-$300, while premium ceramic or IR films cost $350-$500. Front side windows, which must meet the state's 70% VLT requirement, average $60-$90 per window. The average cost to tint car windows in major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco tends to be 10-20% higher than in suburban areas. SUVs and larger vehicles add $50-$100 to the total. Many professional car window tinting services in California include certification of legal compliance.
